Why Superbolt Tensioners?

An Old Problem:
Large diameter bolting presents
several problems. The strength
of a screw fastener increases
with the square of its diameter,
however, the torque required
increases with the third power.
requires some form of high

energy equipment.
Slugging wrenches and crane
wrenches are dangerous and
thermal tightening can be time
consuming. Hydraulic wrenching
can be expensive, time consuming,
inaccurate and can lead to thread
galling. Hydraulic tensioning also
shares some of these problems and
adds problems with field retrofit.

The Simple
Solution:
Superbolt Tensioners are designed
as direct replacements for standard
bolting. They can be threaded
onto a new or existing bolt, stud,
threaded rod or shaft. With our
products, bolting is fast, safe,
easy and accurate.

Benefits:
Only Hand Tools Required
Standard torque wrenches/small
air tools can generate higher bolt
tensions than any other bolting
method available.
Time and Labor Savings
Vast time savings during installation/
removal have been realized. Multiple
workers and air tools can be used for
even faster installation and removal.
Holding Power
Superbolt products will not loosen
on properly designed joints when
correctly torqued. Prestressed
tensioners on bolts or studs remain
tight on vibrating, pulsating, or
reciprocating equipment, eliminating
downtime due to bolting.
Safe To Use
Eliminate common injuries associated
with other bolting methods. Our products
can be used in awkward locations
such as overhead bolts, on top of large
equipment, and also in hazardous
environments such as nuclear power
plants.
Accurate Preload
Our products provide precise tightening
control, which is critical for sensitive
applications such as gasketed flanges.
Consistent tension from stud to stud is
achieved.
Fits In Restricted Areas
Most applications can utilize standard
Superbolt products. However, specials
can be designed to fit a wide variety of
limited space applications.
Flexing - Adds Elasticity

Superbolt Tensioners add elasticity
to any bolted joint (see page 22).
The joint becomes more resistant to
thermal or dynamic cycles.
Flexing Can Eliminate Bolt Breakage
Flexing removes stress concentrations
in the first few threads. Precise load
control and reduced thread stress can
eliminate bolt breakage problems.
Tightens In Pure Tension
Thread galling and stud seizure is
eliminated due to tightening in pure
tension. This prevents the difficulties
associated with removing frozen studs.
Economical / Reusable
Superbolt products are simple
mechanical devices which cost
comparatively less than other bolting
methods.

Bolting Technology
Takes A Step Forward:
Application Examples:
Superbolt Multi-Jackbolt Tensioners (MJTs)

eliminate the need for expensive, time consuming
and unsafe bolting methods. Our products
utilize a series of jackbolts

threaded through the main
body of the nut or bolt, to create

large clamping forces.
Jackbolts are
tightened with a hand
torque wrench.
2,500 Ton structural foam injection molding press. Installation

was accomplished in 2 hours using hand tools!
High compressive
strength jackbolts
have a small friction
diameter creating a
high thrust force with
relatively little torque.
A hardened washer
is used to transfer
force while protecting
the flange face and
casing.
The thrust force of
many jackbolts and
the opposite reaction
force of the main bolt
head create a strong
clamping force on the
flange.
16-1/2 split nut on forging press columns.
The thrust force from

the jackbolts creates
an equally strong
reaction force in the
main bolt head.
This flexible disc coupling took 2 men 2-1/2 hours to install,

saving this company 19 man hours!

Notes for applications engineering with Superbolt products.

The torque and preload (bolt load) values
given in the catalog tables are the standard
values for common uses. If your application
requires a higher or lower load, usually the
standard product torque can be increased
or decreased proportionally. However, you
should check with a Superbolt engineer
prior to increases beyond rated bolt load.
The values listed in this catalog were

obtained by factory tests. They are valid
for new products as shipped. Repeated
use, exposure to extreme heat, washing
in solvents, or field lubrication can cause
variations in values. Designers should
use the same safety factors as for
standard fasteners.
MT

general mechanical applications.
They can be used on high or
medium strength bolts and studs
and will fit in the same area as
a heavy hex nut. The MT series
features hex-head jackbolts.

APPLICATIONS: General
machinery, mining equipment,
anchorbolts, gear boxes, pinion
stands, tables, crushers, engines,
compressors, presses etc.
NOTE: For permanent bolting
applications, preload can be safely
increased 30% by increasing specified
torque 30%.
WHEN ORDERING: Replace the three dots (...) with the

threads per inch (TPI) or the metric pitch required. Please
watch for unusual thread forms.

CY series tensioners are used for

higher bolt loads on general machinery
applications. They fit in the same area
as a heavy hex nut.
APPLICATIONS: Semi-cryogenic
bolting, compressors, pumps, high
pressure flanges, pinion stands, gear
reducers, gear boxes, split gears,
crushing equipment, presses, and
military equipment.
NOTE: For permanent bolting applications, preload
can be safely increased 30% by increasing specified
torque 30%.
WHEN ORDERING: Replace the three dots (...) with the threads per
inch (TPI) or the metric pitch required. Please watch for unusual
thread forms. See also HOW TO ORDER on page 5.
Power shovel side frames.
* NOTE: The CYX Series is recommended when the CY Series Jackbolt Torque requirement exceeds 200 ftlbs. CYX Series
features JL-M Moly lubricated jackbolts which reduces the jackbolt torque. All dimensions are the same as the above CY
Series. Contact Superbolt for more information.

MTSX Torquenuts provide extremely high preloads on large bolts or studs. Relatively little jackbolt torque is required by
using JL-M MOLY paste lubrication.

Example of MT
Series Superbolt

on long studs
designed to hold
large machinery
together.
Example of Superbolt Tensioners used on a hydraulic cylinder.
Kaplan turbine coupling, (18) 6-3/16 studs. The previous method required 150-250
man hours utilizing a 150 lb. dead man, a 50 ton hydraulic ram, and a 250 lb. wrench.
Supernuts were installed in 2-1/2 hours using 1/2 air impacts and hand torque
wrenches.
MT Supernuts used as a closure tool. The shell had to be bolted up without

the rotor assembly for measurements. The tensioners were used to speed up
the maintenance schedule thus saving valuable outage time. Supernuts are
reusable for repairs on other turbines within this utility.

Expansion Bolts
For large machinery couplings and other large fitted bolt applications
Problems:
Couplings such as those found on turbines present

unique bolting problems. Alignment of shafts is a
primary concern. Current practice requires the use
of fitted bolts to assure proper alignment. Fitted bolts
require precision machining, and installation and
removal is often difficult.
EB
Solutions:
Superbolt has developed a custom bolting system for machines requiring large
fitted bolts, such as steam turbines, generators, windmills, marine equipment
and steel mill machinery. The bolting system consists of a tapered stud with
threads on both ends. This stud slides into a round O.D. sleeve with an internal
taper. The sleeve has a slot which allows it to expand as the tapers are drawn
together. Typically, sleeves are designed .005 - .010 loose in the hole.
Split Sleeve With Internal Taper

Tapered Stud
How Expansion Bolts Work

Superbolt Expansion Bolts utilize a six
piece system (shown above). The small
end Torquenut supplies the large force
required to draw the tapered stud into
the expandable tapered sleeve. As the
tapered sleeve expands, a large, radial
force is exerted uniformly against the
mating through-holes. The large end
Torquenut creates additional clamping
force on the joint and is also used for

easy removal of the tapered stud. Once
the tapered stud is extracted, the sleeve
collapses, allowing easy removal.
Installation:
1). Insert expandable tapered sleeve (D) into through-hole
2). Insert tapered stud (C) into tapered sleeve
3). Slip washer (E) over threaded small end of tapered stud
4). Thread Torquenut (F) onto small end of tapered stud
5). Tighten set screws on Torquenut (F) to prescribed torque
6). Install washer (B), Torquenut (A), and tighten set screws
Expansion Bolts are specially

designed and are available in all
types of standard and exotic bolting
materials.
Removal:
1). Removing Torquenut (F)
2). Extracting the stud with Torquenut (A). Once the tapered
stud is extracted, the sleeve collapses, allowing easy
removal.
Benefits:
Fast Installation and Removal

Provides a Strong Rigid Connection
Eliminates High Powered Tools, Bolt
Heating, Drilling out Seized Studs
Line Boring Only (No Precision Honing
Required)
The Loose Fit Sleeves Tolerate
Variations in Diameters
Large turbine/generator coupling.

Installation 4 hours, removal 1 hour.

Special note on CN Jackbolt torque: Jackbolt torques dependent on lubricant. Older jamnuts were lubricated with oil while
new production specifies a Moly based lubricant. Still others supplied on OEM basis may be lubricated with DOW Corning
GN Paste. Proper torque values are stamped on the jamnut body and are supplied with installation instructions.

Compressor Piston End Nuts
Examples
Piston End Nut Applications:

Superbolt offers the SP series in
custom designed Piston End Nuts.
These nuts are Torquenut type
multi-jackbolt tensioners designed to
properly attach compressor pistons
to the piston rod. There is no
need to clamp the piston rod when
installing or removing Superbolt
Piston End Nuts. Because almost
every compressor piston is custom
designed to accommodate different
gases at different temperatures,
the Piston End Nuts that attach
the pistons to the rods also vary.
The space available for Piston End
Nuts varies. Nut material may also
vary due to corrosion resistance
requirements. Superbolt has an
extensive data base of previously
designed and installed Piston End
Nuts. New applications can usually
be designed by modifying an
SP Tensioner on piston.
Spanner wrench groove optional as shown.
existing design. Most Piston End Nuts

have Superbolt patented captive
machinery type jackbolts as an added
safety feature. Contact Superbolt for
Customer Application Worksheet.
OTHER APPLICATIONS: Hydraulic
Pistons.
Original nuts were replaced with Superbolt Torquenuts on this
connecting rod. Accurate preload was achieved quickly with a 3/8
torquewrench, increasing worker safety.

Torquebolt Series
Bolt stress at standard preload: varies with size Operating Temperature: -50F to 500F
Torquebolts are
most often used
for applications
with tapped holes.
Additionally, the
diameter of the
Torquebolt head is
smaller than a nut type
tensioner, allowing
Torquebolts to fit
tighter areas. Also
includes an external
hex for ease of
installation.
NOTE: For permanent bolting
applications, preload can be safely
increased 30% by increasing specified
torque 30%.
ORDERING INFORMATION: To the part numbers in the table,

add your threads per inch (or pitch) requirement and the length
required under the head (please account for washer thickness) .
Example: for a 2, 8TPI bolt 9 long, order SB8-200-8 x
9.00/w (The /w specifies the standard hardened washer).
Torquebolts are also available for high temperature service and can
be made from a variety of materials. Includes external installation
hex on bolt heads for ease of use.

SUPERBOLT FOR
PRODUCT DETAILS
SB12
Torquebolts offer
higher strength
and are more
suitable for low
temperatures.
Other features
are the same
as SB8
Torquebolts.
APPLICATIONS:
Gear boxes, BOF
applications,
mining
equipment,
pinion stands,
clamp type flange
connections, and
wind tunnels.
ORDERING INFORMATION: To the part numbers in

the table, add threads per inch (or pitch) requirement
and the length you require under the head (please
account for washer thickness). EXAMPLE: For a 2,
8TPI bolt 9 long, order - SB12-200-8 x 9.00/w (the /w
specifies the standard hardened washer).
NOTE: For permanent bolting applications, preload can be

safely increased 30% by increasing specified torque 30%.
Ultrabolt Series
SBU
Ultrabolts are the strongest fasteners available, when applied correctly

(usually with Flexnuts). Ultrabolts are custom designed, utilizing special
and/or exotic materials. Bolt stress up to 120,000 psi is normal. Some
Ultrabolts are capable of withstanding 300,000 psi tensile stress with
250,000 psi yield strength. Preloading repeatedly to 250,000 psi, with only
the jackbolts, has been successfully accomplished without damage. For
those applications requiring a nut with the Ultrabolt, SXU Flexnuts are
recommended (grade 8 nuts are not strong enough for Ultrabolts). Contact
Superbolt for your high strength and extra high strength requirements.
17
SSJX
Torquebolt Series
with set screws and Moly Lubricant (JL-M) Bolt stress at standard preload: varies with size Operating Temperature: -50F to 500F
SSJX Torquebolts offer MultiJackbolt features in the same

countersink as large standard socket
head cap screws. They feature Moly
lubricated setscrews.
APPLICATIONS: Gear boxes, BOF
applications, mining equipment,
pinion stands, clamp type flange
connections, wind tunnels, machine
tools, presses.

SUPERBOLT FOR
PRODUCT DETAILS
Patented SX8 series Flexnuts are designed

to flex within the bolt stress range common
for most torquebolts. They are ideal for
reducing stress concentrations and also for
adding flexibility to gasketed joints. They
are suitable for SB8, SB12, and SSJX
Torquebolts, and also in conjunction with
through studs and Torquenuts.
APPLICATIONS: Test equipment, aircraft
equipment, rocket and space, nuclear,
mining, crushers, gasketed flanges, etc.

watch for unusual thread forms. See also HOW TO
ORDER on page 5.
Flexnuts
SX12
Operating Temperature: -150F to 500F Bolt stress from 120,000 to 200,000 psi
How Flexnuts Work:
Flexnuts are used on through bolt applications on the opposite end of a Torquenut or
Torquebolt. They are designed to flex out at the bottom and flex in toward the top of the
nut. This distributes the bolt load along many threads, adds elasticity, and prevents stress
concentrations in the first few threads.

Patented SX12 Flexnuts are designed

for use at very high stress levels.

High Temperature Products

New Patented Technology
High temperature bolting applications still remain the most

challenging for engineering and maintenance
personnel. Using
our years of bolting experience, Superbolt has improved upon the

original Multi-Jackbolt design. The result is, simply the best high
temperature bolting method available.
Available in both
nut and bolt style.
High pressure steam flange
Newly Patented Design Features
Tapered Jackbolt Thread

reduces the friction factor by
distributing the load more
evenly over the threads. This
reduces torque requirements
and greatly reduces removal
effort. Threads are precision
rolled for improved toughness
and hardness.

Chart for reference only. Do not use for design data.
Rounded jackbolt tip reduces friction and leaves

only minor marking of the washer. This also
results in reduced torque requirements and easier
removal.
High Flexibility for Tighter and More Permanent Joints
Turbine Torquenut
Before Tightening
The increased elasticity of Multi-Jackbolt tensioners on high

temperature flange and joint applications is critical to permanent
sealing under operating conditions. Increasing bolting elasticity
can compensate for flange and joint instability caused by
temperature changes, changes in internal pressure and joint
movement.
The flexing action in Superbolt nut type tensioners is also
beneficial in reducing stress concentrations on the male thread.
When the jackbolts are tightened, the nut body flexes in slightly at
the top (clamping the threads tighter) and flexes out at the bottom.
This nut body flexing removes stress concentrations from the first
few threads and distributes the stresses more evenly along the
entire length of the threaded area, significantly improving load
capacity and fatigue resistance.
Larger hex is cold worked and cold

formed. The larger hex and lower torque
requirements, eliminate socket breaking.

High Temperature Products

Torquenuts (650F - 1200F*)
Materials: Various material combinations are available
including ASTM A193 Grade B16, 300 and 400 series
stainless, nitrogen strengthened austenitic, and other
various superalloys such as A286 and Inconels.
Besides use for high temperature applications over
650F, these products are also suitable for food,
corrosion, and non magnetic applications down to 423F (For low temperature service, additional material
testing and certification may be required).
H1215
Body OD / Stud Dia = 1.5 (approx.)
H1215 Supernuts have the smallest

spotface design and will retrofit even the
tightest nut spacing.
Replaces castle and acorn nuts
Smallest nut O.D., approx. 1.5x stud dia.
Most number of jackbolts
Smallest diameter jackbolts
Lowest jackbolt torque
For stud sizes up to 6 diameter and over
*Note: The temperature at the nut location is often lower than

the process temperature. If the nut temperature is below
650F, the medium temperature series on pages 20 and 21
can also be used.
Prestress: Usually limited to 45,000 psi bolt

stress.
Ex: 2-1/4 stud size
(16) 10mm jackbolts
H1216
Turbine control valve
H1216 Supernuts feature a slightly larger

spotface than the H1215 Series. The H1216
is preferred to the H1215 if flange spotface
room exists.
Replaces many acorn & castle nuts.*
Intermediate series, approx. 1.6x stud dia.
Usually fewer jackbolts than 1215 series
Some sizes have the same number of
jackbolts as H1215 but of a larger dia.
Some sizes can achieve higher preloads
than the H1215 series
For stud sizes up to 4 diameter
Prestress: 45,000 psi - 60,000 psi bolt stress.
HP turbine and valve
Turbine control valve
Ex: 2-1/4 stud size

(12) 12mm jackbolts
*Usually the H1216 has a slightly larger OD

than the original acorn or castle nut, but it
can be used as long as spot face room is
available on the flange.
H1218
IP turbine
H1218 Supernut Tensioners have the

largest diameter of the three series.
The larger diameter nut body permits
larger diameter jackbolts, resulting in fewer
jackbolts. This allows the H1218 to be
installed and removed in the shortest time.
Turbine stop valve
Typically replace heavy hex nuts. Can also

replace acorn and castle nuts if flange
spotface room exists
Largest nut O.D., approx. 1.8x stud dia.
Least number of jackbolts
Largest diameter jackbolts
For stud sizes up to 2-3/4 diameter
Ex: 2-1/4 stud size
(8) 16mm jackbolts
Prestress: 45,000 psi - 60,000 psi. Higher

prestress available with custom design.

High Temperature Bolting System

PROBLEM: The strength of ASTM A193 Grade B16 material
falls away rapidly approaching 1,000 F (See chart on page 22)
When used for studs above 950 F, leaks can occur if the joint is
not engineered properly to withstand the high temperature creep
of the studs. 12% chrome material (422 SS) can sometimes
improve the situation as its creep strength is slightly better (See
page 22). However, 422 SS has a very different expansion
coefficient than typical CrMoV housings. This can cause
leakage problems for equipment that operates through frequent
temperature cycles.
SOLUTION: A smaller diameter Inconel stud tensioned to

a higher stress level. Inconel can easily hold higher stress
levels (80-90ksi) at 1,000 F+ service and it has an expansion
coefficient compatible with the CrMov housing. A Superbolt
Tensioner is used to achieve this high bolt stress level where
traditional tightening methods cannot. With a smaller stud and
the same nut O.D., larger jackbolts can be used making the
high powered Supernut highly stable at 1,000 F+. The system
has many benefits which work together to improve integrity of
the joint.
Applications: Steam Inlet flanges, stop valves, control valves, turbines,
high temperature vessels, and more.
Smaller diameter Inconel studs can be inserted with rotational misalignment of bolt
holes. Jackbolts compensate for non-perpendicular surface.
High pressure steam lead with rotational misalignment of bolt holes. Solved leakage and history
of bolt failures.
Benefits:
Increased clamping load on the joint at elevated temperature - Inconel
718 studs are highly stable at temperatures up to 1000 F and maintain
preload throughout operation.
Lower contact stress to housing - Utilizing the original bolt pattern, the
smaller O.D. studs result in lower contact stress to the housing material.
Improved bolt elasticity - The tensioner body expands at the base and
contracts at the top very slightly. This flexing action introduces a stored
energy to the bolt. Bolts also have added elasticity due to the smaller
diameter and their higher operating stresses. The result is an improved
elasticity. The joint is more forgiving and will maintain the clamping load
even through harsh, thermal cycling.
load, galling of the main thread will not occur. Additionally, studs are
easily extracted from the housing even after long-term service.
Reduce man hours and downtime - Most tensioners can be installed
or removed in only a few minutes.
For new designs, reduce the size of the flange or housing - Due
to the small space requirements of Superbolt systems, our tensioners
can be positioned to the point of nearly touching, saving you space and
materials in your design.
Lower initial cost - Less expensive than utilizing full size Inconel 718
studs.
Improved preload accuracy - Even precision torquing of standard nuts

yields substantial scatter in bolt preload. Accuracy of SB Tensioners is
5-10%.
Eliminates galling - Stud preload is achieved in pure tension (no
torsional stress component). Since the main thread does not slide under

Thrust Collars
Superbolt thrust collars
consist of unthreaded rings
with jackbolts which are used
primarily on the bearings on
large steel mill rolls. The thrust
collar is positioned close to
the bearing, then a split ring is
inserted behind the collar. As
the jackbolts are tightened, the
collar is thrust against the split
ring to preload the bearing.
Due to the massive size of the rolls and associated equipment,
thrust collars have proven to be advantageous for worker safety
and injury reduction. Previously, the large bearing locknut
arrangements were difficult to tighten and to keep tight. Sledge
hammers, large pry bars, and overhead crane rigging were
utilized, with back, hand and muscle injuries very common.
Superbolt thrust collars are usually installed with air power
wrenches, followed by a standard torque wrench to verify the final
target jackbolt torque.
Thrust collars have been shipped in sizes up to 40 inside

diameter, capable of creating 4,500,000 lbs of bearing preload.
Typical inside diameters range from 5 to 30, but virtually any
size can be designed and produced.

Installation and Removal

Tips
(Procedure on back)
Installation Preparation:
Superbolt
Product:
Confirm jackbolts are lubricated

with correct Superbolt lubricant
(JL-G or JL-M). New product is
lubricated at the factory. Make
sure the jackbolt tips are flush
(or recessed) with the bottom
of the nut body.
Torque
Wrenches:
Select appropriate hand

tools, depending on your
target torque.
Sockets: High hex stresses

require the use of quality sixpoint impact sockets. Have
several spares handy for each
job and replace them at the first
sign of wear. Special Superbolt
sockets may be required when
using a 3/4 impact or torque
wrench when jackbolt spacing
is close.
Installation
Sheet
(shipped with product).
Determine the target jackbolt

torque. NOTE: The jackbolt
torque stamped on the
tensioner is a standard value
for that part and may not be
correct for your application.
Air Impacts: If using
air impacts, select a tool

with an output of about
100% - 110% of the target
torque. See Air Impact Tool
Selection below.
Further Preparation Steps:
1) Lubricate the thread of the main stud.

2) Slide the hardened washer onto the
stud. 3) Lubricate the washer face or
jackbolt tips with the correct Superbolt
lubricant (JL-G or JL-M).
Lubricants: Jackbolts are pre-lubricated from the factory with
either JL-G or JL-M lubricant. For the main stud any standard
anti-seize lubricant can be used. For reuse after temperature
service, remove, clean, and re-lubricate the jackbolts with the
correct Superbolt lubricant.
Washers: Apply the correct Superbolt lubricant to

the washer face or to the jackbolt tips.
For flanges: To speed up installation,
use two workers at 180 apart, following

OEM pattern for tightening.
Helpful Tips :
Prior to Tightening:
1) Check threads of main stud: If possible, verify that the tensioners spin on prior
to the installation date. If a tensioner is tight or will not thread on, try using lapping
compound on the main thread and work the tensioner in a back and forth motion making
small advances when the thread loosens up. If necessary, chase the studs with a die.
2) Use of spacers: Tensioners should be positioned at the ends of the studs to minimize
exposed threads and facilitate easy access to the jackbolts. A spacer (or stacked
washers) can be used beneath the special hardened washer to accomplish this. A
spacer will also step over a damaged area on a stud where years of bolting have
deformed the first few threads.
3) Back the tensioner off before tightening to provide 1/16 to 1/8 gap: The
additional jackbolt extension provides easy access for oiling the jackbolt tips prior to
removal. This is especially beneficial for oiling when the tensioners are inverted. Note:
There may be insufficient jackbolt stroke to allow this step when tensioning exceptionally
long bolts or tie rods, or when closing a gap between flanges.
4) For spinning the tensioner on and off the stud: Custom sockets which grip the
tensioner are available. Also, two deep well sockets inserted over two jackbolt hexs at
180 apart can serve as handles for spinning the tensioners on and off the studs.
For Tightening:
5) To improve efficiency when using impacts: Dont wait for the socket to stall
completely on a specific jackbolt before advancing to the next jackbolt. It is faster,
overall, to move quickly between jackbolts.
6) Overshooting the target torque: You may want to use 110 - 120% of the target
torque for Step 3, Step 4, and for 1-2 rounds of Step 5. This may eliminate a tightening
round. Be careful not to stabilize all of the jackbolts at this torque however. For long bolts
or tie rods, you may want to experiment using even higher torque values. Call Superbolt
before using more than 120% target torque.
7) For gasketed joints: During gasket compression, the load is transferred to the
jackbolts (i.e. stud) being tightened. Dont be concerned if some jackbolts (or tensioners)
become loose during the procedure. Continue following the procedure. Dont spin down
tensioners that become loose during gasket compression.
SB-0607F
Air Impact Tool Selection
90 psi air pressure
(Call Superbolt for additional help with air tool selection)

NOTE: The jackbolt torque actually achieved by an air impact wrench is usually only
30 - 50% of its rated output. For minimum hand work, use an air impact with an output
of 110% - 120% target torque. For maximum power, use the largest air line fitting.
Up to 70 ft-lbs: For 15 - 35 ft-lbs use a right angle ratchet or light duty 3/8
impact. For 35 - 70 ft-lbs use a heavy duty 3/8 impact.
70 - 100 ft-lbs: Use a light duty 1/2 impact at a reduced pressure or setting.
(Be careful not to overtighten! Calibrate the impact before starting.)
100 - 170 ft-lbs: For 100 - 130 ft-lbs use a light duty 1/2 impact. For 130 - 170
ft-lbs use a heavy duty 1/2 impact.
170 - 200 ft-lbs: Use a light duty 3/4 impact on low setting. Some heavy duty
1/2 impacts will also reach this range.
Over 200 ft-lbs: For 200 - 300 ft-lbs, use a light to medium duty 3/4 impact.
Over 300 ft-lbs, use a heavy duty 3/4 impact.
Calibrating an air impact wrench: Tighten one jackbolt until the socket
rotation stops and check the jackbolt with a torque wrench. The torque
required to move the jackbolt further is the output of the impact as
measured on Superbolt tensioners.
Helpfull Tips For Removal:

8) 1/4 turn or less!: Removing the jackbolts more than a 1/4 turn will
increase the removal torque of the remaining jackbolts and you may get
stuck. If this happens, you will have to retighten and start again.
9) Stuck jackbolt removal: If a jackbolt will not turn, remove, relube, and
retighten a neighboring jackbolt and then try to turn it.
For stubborn removal, please call for alternate procedure
(This procedure excludes piston end, crosshead, mill motor & bearing lock nuts)

(This procedure excludes piston end, crosshead, mill motor & bearing lock nuts)
Installation Procedure
Step 1:
Step 2:
Spin the tensioner onto the main thread

until it seats against the washer. You may
want to back off the tensioner slightly as
mentioned in Helpful Tip #3.
Tighten (4) jackbolts at 90 apart (12:00,

6:00, 9:00, and 3:00) on all studs with a
partial torque (30-70%). This serves to
seat the flange. If using an air impact,
use a reduced setting or lightly pulse
the trigger at the full setting.
Step 4:
Step 5:
Step 3:
At 100% target torque, tighten the

same (4) jackbolts on all studs.
NOTE: Product with 4 or

6 jackbolts - use a star
pattern for all steps.
Repeat STEP 4 until all jackbolts are stabilized

At 100% target torque, tighten all jackbolts
in a circular pattern. Do this for all studs (1
round only). See Helpful Tip #7 about using
up to 120% torque.
Removal Procedure
(less than 10 rotation). This usually requires 24 additional passes. If using air tools, switch to
a torque wrench when socket rotation is small.
Use the torque wrench to stabilize at the target
torque.
CAUTION! Jackbolts must be unloaded gradually. If some jackbolts are fully unloaded prematurely, the remaining jackbolts will carry
the entire load and may be hard to turn. With extreme abuse, a jackbolt tip can deform, making removal difficult.
Service Under 250F
Service Over 250F
Preparation: Spray jackbolts with penetrating oil or hydraulic oil prior to

start (especially if product is in corrosive environment).
Preparation: Above 300F the petroleum base of the lubricant burns

off. Oil per STEP 1 below to reduce the removal torque.
Step 1:
Step 2: Repeat a 2nd round as
above for all studs, now loosening

each jackbolt 1/4 turn in a circular
pattern.
OIL
Step
Loosen each jackbolt

1/8 turn following a
circular pattern around
the tensioner (1 round
only). As you move
around and get back to
the first jackbolt, it will
be tight again. Do this
for all studs on the joint
prior to the next step.
28
3: Continue loosening
1/4 turn for 3rd and successive
rounds until all jackbolts are loose.
NOTE: Usually after the 3rd or 4th
round, an impact can be used to
completely extract the jackbolts,
one by one. For long bolts or tie
rods, additional rounds may be
required before removing the
jackbolts with an impact tool.
Step 1:
Step 4: Remove, clean and

relubricate the jackbolts prior to
next use with correct Superbolt
lubricant (JL-G or JL-M).
squirt oil in the gap between

the nut body and the washer.
Synthetic oil can be used for
oiling above 300F.
Step 2: Wait for tensioners
As the equipment is cooling

down (around 300F), apply
hydraulic oil to the jackbolts
and washer and let sit for
several hours. Thoroughly
wet-down all components
and
re-apply
during
equipment cool down period.
If the tensioner is inverted,
to cool below 200F. Using

a circular pattern, crack
each jackbolt only enough
to ensure movement. Do not
turn beyond the break loose
point. Do this for all studs.
Step 3: Now begin with

STEP 1 of the procedure for
service under 250F.
NOTE: Heating Rods can be

used to reduce the removal
torque required.

Lubricants
The torque-preload relationship of

Superbolt tensioners depends on the
tensioner body and jackbolt materials,
heat treatment, plating, lubricants, and
other factors. Superbolt engineers
have performed extensive tests to
determine the best lubricants for the
various materials utilized by Superbolt,
Inc. In an emergency, a number of
commercially available graphite or
nickel based lubricant compounds can
be used for jackbolt re-lubrication in the
field, however, obtained preload may
not be accurate.
Copper bearing compounds have not
performed well as jackbolt lubricants.
Two custom lubricants, JL-G and JL-M
are RECOMMENDED by Superbolt.
Both compounds have a higher solids
content than commercially available
compounds. They have performed
better as jackbolt lubricants, particularly
in high temperature applications. JL-G
and JL-M are available in various
container sizes and can be ordered
directly from Superbolt.
Proper Lubricant should be applied
to the tips of the Jackbolts prior to
installation.
JL-G is a lubricant paste made from

selected flaky graphite and pure
mineral oil. It has a relatively uniform
friction factor of 0.130 under widely
varying conditions.
JL-G is used in the assembly of most
Superbolt products. Tests show that
as long as the lubricant is intact, the
torque-preload relationship does not
change appreciably in subsequent
tightenings. Re-lubrication of jackbolts
after lengthy or high temperature
service restores Superbolt products
to their original performance.
JL-M is a lubricant paste with a
high concentration of Molybdenum
Disulfide powder. JL-M lubricant
has the lowest coefficient of friction
available commercially. Friction factors
approaches 0.055, once broken in.
In addition to being used on several
product lines, this lubricant is used on
products with larger jackbolts (roughly
5/8 and up) enabling high bolt
preload capacities with a low torque
input (approximately 1/2 the torque of
JL-G). This also helps reduce wear
on sockets and adds the possibility of using

smaller wrenches. JL-M should not be used on
applications above 650 F.
As with all lubricants, it is important to apply
some to the jackbolts prior to installation.
